The European Chess Solving Championship has been run annually since 2005. It comprises six rounds over two days, as per the WCSC. It is an individual and team event combined with teams being of four solvers with the scores of the top three solvers in each round contributing to their team score. In addition to these four there are two more places available for each country. These are intended for junior and/or female solvers, though adult male solvers are allowed if none of the former can be found.
